The inaugural Hyphenated Biennial is a platform bringing together voices of First Nations and Asian diasporic artists, and was conceived by co-directors Nikki Lam and Phuong Ngo as a provocation around what it means for diverse artists to work together on the same land.
‘We were thinking about what a biennial in the Western suburbs [of Melbourne] would look like, and what would happen if we put all those artists in dialogue with each other,’ Ngo told ArtsHub.
